Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
So are you saying you do not hit the fret notes (which IS the "color keys") until you strum (not fret) at the same time? Yes, I would recommend holding down the correct upcoming note(s) on the fretboard before you strum....also, get used to using your pinky, it will take a bit of practice since it is the weakest finger, but you will need it once you take on four or more notes....

Re: Rock Band: Official Thread
There are very few celebrities that I actively hate. Toby Kieth is one of them.
Armchair warmonger and all around redneck douchebag.
Plus his "music" sucks.
All in my humble opinion, of course.

I did the tutorials okay on some but then they got harder. And I had the same problems.
I'll try and use that technique. I just can't seem to get into the flow of things.

Same impression I got when I met him.
That said, it is pretty obvious there is no one on the staff at Harmonix that are country fans.
I have no issue with country music being released on Rock Band...especially because there are some great songs over the years that would play beautifully...but a Toby Keith is just a cheesy, crappy country pack. It is what a non fan of country would pick because they don't know any better.

I have no opinion of Toby Keith or the tracks listed above, but Weed With Willie is a great song.

Definitely hold the buttons down before strumming.

Not a technique but I'd recommend getting your hands on either GHII or the original RB disc. They do a far better job of 'teaching' you just by playing through the game.
for Toby Keith. Not sure we needed 6 songs from him though, would've preferred a 6-pack of different country including Keith.

I love having some country and alt-country in Rock Band but i really wish they would do some of the more rebel country (classic or new) rather than the modern pop country.
Give us some:
Johnny Cash
Willie Nelson
Hank Williams
Hank III
Heck, i'd even like some Charlie Feathers.

Agree completely. I don't *hate* the more modern stuff, but the earlier stuff is much better. Being a farmboy who had a dog Jake growing up in the 90s, I definitely love Should've Been a Cowboy.

(Can we please get some more Dixie Chicks if you feel a need to put out more country, Harmonix? Seriously, lets get a track pack together, with at least two songs from their last album, OK?)
